Study Notes
Learning Theories
- Empiricism: Emphasizes that learning comes from empirical observation and experience.
- Structuralism: Proposed by Wilhelm Wundt, suggests that sensations of independent elements make up consciousness.
Models of Mind
- Functionalism: Proposed by William James, explores the purpose of thought and why we think the way we do.
- Interactionalism: Proposed by René Descartes, suggests that the mind and body are distinct but interact to cause events within one another.
- Psychophysiological Model: Explores the relationship between behavior and structures in the nervous system, using the example of the sea slug memory experiment.
- Psychodynamic Model: Suggests that all behavior comes from trying to solve drives and reflexes, and is influenced by motivation and desires from tension and conflict. Associated with Freud's theory of unconscious meaning to behavior.
- Behaviorist Model: Focuses on the objective study of behavior and the goal of controlling behavior. Main focus is on observable behavior.
- Psychophysiological Model vs. Behaviorist Model: The main difference is that the psychophysiological model explores the physiological basis of behavior, whereas the behaviorist model focuses on observable behavior.
Sleep and Brain Waves
-
Brain Waves:
- Alpha Waves: Associated with relaxed, closed eyes.
- Beta Waves: Associated with active thinking.
- Delta Waves: Associated with deep sleep.
-
Stages of Sleep:
- Stage 1: Characterized by physically and mentally relaxed brain activity.
- Stage 2: Characterized by sleep spindles and K-complexes, helps with memory consolidation.
- Stage 3: Crucial for rest, characterized by deep sleep.
- REM Sleep: Function involves memory consolidation and learning.
Research Methods and Concepts
- Hawthorne Effect: When participants change their behavior when they are aware of being observed.
- Ockham's Razor: A principle that suggests choosing the explanation that requires the fewest assumptions.
- Global Workspace Hypothesis: Suggests that consciousness arises from the global workspace of the brain, which integrates information from various modules.
Other
- Introspection: Involves looking into oneself and understanding one's feelings and mental states. Proposed by Wilhelm Wundt.
- Narcolepsy: A sleep disorder characterized by falling asleep uncontrollably.
